What's the difference between ordinary laundry and a technical wash?
Great Question. While doing laundry in a typical household machine is a convenient and effective way to get traditional garments clean, it doesn't offer the specialized care needed to restore technical apparel. For example, ordinary detergents typically contain optical brighteners, enzymes, and fragrances intended for fabrics such as cotton; however, these ingredients can impede the performance of technical fabrics such as GORE-TEX, down, merino, and other types of synthetic active-wear. That is, they prevent these layers from keeping you as warm and dry as they were designed to do. Moreover, these textiles require particular treatments such as specialized washing cycles and hand finishing that are optimized for each particular material. At Rocky Mountain Technical Wash, we give your technical gear the care it needs.
